Abstract

I offer a critique of Weber’s two ethics. The first layer is internal and concerned with their logics. The second layer considers the external knowledge necessary to apply them appropriately and argues that it is extremely difficult to come by. The third layer connects Weber’s ethics to his politics because the choice of either ethic in almost any context is a value choice. This is apparent in Weber’s application of these ethics to Germany foreign policy. He used his ethics in a rhetorical way to justify his values rather than using these values as a guide to policy assessment. This reversal is endemic to politics. One response might be to stipulate beforehand the kinds of policies that are unacceptable in democracies regardless of their expected outcomes.

马克斯·韦伯的伦理学

我对韦伯的两种伦理学进行了批判。第一层是内部的，与他们的逻辑有关。第二层考虑了适当应用这些知识所必需的外部知识，并认为这是极其困难的。第三层将韦伯的伦理与他的政治联系起来，因为在几乎任何情况下，选择任何一种伦理都是一种价值选择。这一点在韦伯将这些伦理思想应用于德国外交政策中可见一斑。他用修辞的方式来证明自己的价值观，而不是把这些价值观作为政策评估的指南。这种逆转在政治中很普遍。一种回应可能是事先规定民主国家不可接受的政策种类，无论其预期结果如何。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
